sorry This is my very first time. I am using the community web edition
Hi @Tayyab Hussain ,
Think you using wrong command to get the output in the text file,
Using the Extract text action
Use the Extract text action to extract text from a PDF file and save it as a text file.
Using the Extract field action
Use the Extract field action to extract fields from a PDF and assign it to variables.
i'd suggest you to checkout documentation and some tutorials and then start building the bots,
Hi-
Followed the instructions and named the variable as Test. But, still unable to locate the converted file. I thought the out put would be a directory path.

Line 2 is the message box
Hi @Tayyab Hussain ,
As i explained above you are using Extract field action which will extract fields from a PDF and assign it to variables and you are checking the outcome of the fields in the message box.
If you want to extract text from a PDF file and save it as a text file use Extract text action.
The Bot Ran fine, but where did it saved the extracted file and by what name?
Followed the exact steps. Additionally added the message box. Still the same error
Can you share you code snippet?
HI @Tayyab Hussain ,
IN Line 2 you need to pass the "Key name" for the extracted Fields i.e
$Test{"instruction"}$
or
$Test{"Requirements"}$
